About the Artist

Pamela Meacher, B.A.C – A.S.B.A

A master painter and author, Pamela is an irrepressible dedicated and passionate artist who was exposed to the profound mysteries and beauty of the natural world as a child in England. This helped her form a deep appreciation for flowers and faeries. Pamela’s botanical watercolour paintings often include birds, butterflies and woodland sprites, which harkens back to the Victorian Arts and Crafts movement thus evoking a sense of innocence and calm.

Studied ceramic sculpture in Montreal and Interior Design at McGill University. Oil painting classes at Carlton University in Ottawa. Life studies, grapho-analysis at Seneca College in Toronto, and Cultural Anthropology. Pamela’s skills as a watercolour artist grew through workshops given by Jack Reid of Toronto and Carl Brenders of Belgium.
